How homes here get pests.
Most Stone Oak homes from the late 1990s on are post-tension slabs. Plumbing penetrations in bathrooms are the usual termite entry, so swarmers often show up in a tub or shower first.
Lots backing onto greenbelts and the Edwards recharge zone keep native brush close to the foundation, which brings scorpions and ants right up to the siding.
The apartment communities along 281 and 1604 share walls and plumbing chases, which is how German cockroaches move from unit to unit.
